I appreciated Adam’s YouTube content and inquired about coaching services. My first point of contact in the screening process was Elise, and she was quite personable and kind. During the screening process, somewhat personal information is shared is assess a potential client, which is understood. I was moved onto the second stage of onboarding, with was a call with Lukas. During this stage, more personal information was shared, which for me was difficult - rehashing and recalling painful experiences are for most people, especially to someone I don’t know. Having been in sales myself before, I recognized the sales tactics such as identifying the problem (solution selling) and all that goes with that that was being used. When we got to the price and payment portion, the price did not deter me, but only accepting non-credit card payments did. I own a business, and having cash reserves and responsibly utilizing credit is an important part of my business financial strategy. Large recurring debit (cash payments) are not within my boundaries. As someone struggling with codependency and boundary issues, the sales tactic process was very upsetting and left me in tears. I felt like my personal boundaries were being pushed too hard, and did express that in the phone call. It would have been helpful to know what forms of payments or other business terms prior to telling a stranger personal struggles, and then having those struggles used as leverage in a sales process. I would not use this kind of sales tactic for vulnerable, hurting, and codependent people. Again, I think Adam’s information is very insightful, but perhaps a different sales onboarding method could be considered.
